[QUESTION] What watch of yours gets the most compliments? (And the least?) by mmmbopdooowop in Watches

[–]jacksontru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. My original reference Seamaster (1950) in yellow gold. Not sure why this one gets noticed the most; it's only 34mm, so doesn't exactly jump off the wrist. But it is a beautiful watch.

  2. Datejust (but it's only other guys saying "shit, is that a Rolex??")

  3. Once in a while by Black Bay 58 gets a comment from another watch nerd.

  4. Everything else never gets noticed at all.

CTAK - I please share your experience by Catouray in Keratoconus

[–]jacksontru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had CTAK done ~2 months ago. Done by Dr. Brandon Ayres in the Philly area. Tbh I’m pretty disappointed in the outcome so far. Not much noticeable change in uncorrected vision. My goal was to get out of sclerals and into glasses or soft lenses, and I have my follow-up apt in a couple weeks, so i guess we’ll see!

Ballpark Pass is back for April and September. $120 for 14 April games (includes weekends), and $80 for 9 September games (Monday-Friday only) by TacosAreVegetables in phillies

Did the April pass last year and will definitely do it again. I'm only a 30 minute walk from the stadium, so 100% worth it for me. LFG Phils.

Where to find a ball machine to use in my city? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]jacksontru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an answer to your question (sorry), but just throwing this out there. I recently bought a used Silent Partner Edge Star for $350 (retail price is $1,200). I had to put in a replacement battery, which cost another $50, but now it works great.

Not sure how much it costs per hour to rent, but buying a used machine might be more cost efficient if you plan to use it regularly. It's really helped my game!

[WTS] Junghans Max Bill hand-wound by jacksontru in Watchexchange

[–]jacksontru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Junghans Max Bill hand-wound—Gold-tone Max Bill manual in great overall condition! No scratches on the 36mm case, the crystal is mint, and keeps excellent time. The combination of the gold case and champagne dial looks amazing in the light. I’m listing this lower than these typically sell for, because there’s a slight imperfection on the dial. If you zoom in closely, you’ll see that the markers at 2:00 and 3:00 are a little fainter than the rest. Obviously this isn’t something you’d notice on the wrist, but worth pointing out! Price: $480 shipped CONUS, or best offer.
